Falling for his warm touch despite his usual coldness, she loved him only to be disappointed and betrayed in the end. When love turns to darkness, it festers to be poisonous and consumes the soul. The naïve Arabella evolved. *** “Thank you for becoming my wife,” was her cold husband’s last words before he died, coupled with a smile that had never before graced his lips. Not on their wedding day. And not even at the birth of their only child. Emperor Ferdinand, someone Arabella loved so much, killed their son. She became a villainess and vowed revenge for her beloved child. For a decade, she used everything she could to make Ferdinand pay. Until finally… he fell to ruin! With her revenge complete, Arabella's life soon ended with her dead husband in her arms. But fate wasn’t done playing with her. All of a sudden, she was back two decades ago right after their wedding. Was it a curse or a blessing? It didn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too!” This was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. But in her second life, Arabella was unexpectedly bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.
"What's that supposed to mean, Your Majesty? If he's not human, then what is he?" Renee blinked repeatedly.
"Alwin is an elf. Don't you think he resembles one from the books I had been reading months ago?"
"An elf?!"
[Her Majesty had been reading a lot of books about elves months ago indeed. I saw some of it and Alwin does resemble the descriptions and illustrations, particularly his out-of-this-world beauty and his gorgeous long hair.]
"But he doesn't have pointed ears. If elves are true, then don't they have pointed ears as those books have described?"
"Yes. He had hidden his pointed ears with magic. Would you like to see his real appearance? Should I call him?"
"Yes! Yes, please, Your Majesty!" Renee perked up. She was confused earlier but now, she was excited.
Arabella was right to use Alwin as the example since it would make Renee believe things much more easily.
